Self-help groups have long been a cornerstone of recovery, but their role is often misunderstood, oversimplified, or treated as one-size-fits-all. In this episode, Dr. Andre Johnson joins us for a grounded conversation about where self-help groups fit within the broader recovery ecosystem and how they function in real life, not just in theory.

Rather than presenting self-help groups as a cure-all, this episode situates them as one tool within a much larger system, one that works best when individuals are empowered to choose what supports their recovery at different stages.

This conversation is for anyone navigating recovery, supporting someone who is, or trying to better understand how community-based support fits into a modern, flexible recovery framework.
